It flows from higher potential to lower potential. simply opposite to direction of electrons flow...
series circuit
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
The electricity will flow from higher potential to lower potential in a closed circuit.
When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.
In the simplest form; The difference between a complete and incopmlete circuit is... Complete means that electricity CAN and WILL flow through it where as with an incomplete circuit does not have the ability to conduct current is broken... Here is an example. -----/----- Incomplete cicuit, something preventing electricity to flow ----------- complete circuit, electricity can flow.
Circuit
A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.
the circuit lets electricity flow from onw to the other
An open circuit.
